With the Lumix FZ300 bridge, Panasonic intends to offer a very complete all-in-one camera aimed more at expert photographers. In addition to its numerous customization options, it also stands out thanks to its 24x zoom with constant aperture f/2.8.
With its Lumix FZ300, Panasonic will not disappoint those expecting a versatile, bright bridge with a good zoom range. It goes fast, it’s very handy, it films in 4K, it resists rain and dust and, in some aspects, can even pass for an expert camera. If bulk is not a problem, this is a very good candidate for the title of universal camera.
